Slope Stabalisation Flashcards
Profile modification
Been ledges-stabilise
Hanging blocks- removed
Toe weight- mass added
Original cause- removed
Drainage of slides
Surface drain- diversion ditches=concrete reduce infiltration
Shallow drains- reducing soil water
Deep drains- most effective drain out from slide toe
Relief wells- need pumping
Interception tunnels- cut behind slide or reduce ground water inflow
Impermeable clays- respond poorly
Mass support
Retaining walls- successfully and common on small slopes
Concrete walls- prevent rotation
Dental masonry- replace weak zone with cement or concrete
Gaboon walls- retain soil slopes cheap
Sprayed concrete- reinforcing mesh
